Just curious... Thanks for your help! -Julia surgery date 4-4-06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennaR Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 what types of tests are run? Nutritionist counseling, EKG, Blood work what happens if you lose weight, but not 10% before your surgery? It is rumored that you can be denied for surgery and you will have wasted your time going down there. But I have never known anyone to be turned away. anyone had problems quitting smoking? I quit for 2 weeks before surgery and started again a week after surgery. Still trying to quit again though. It is really important that you do the 2 weeks before surgery though.
